Fang Yingwu observed others, and others were also observing him, and now he gradually figured out the conclusion - this person is young, earnest, impatient, and does not think much about the consequences.

Of course, to deal with such a bad thing, the way is simple for a veteran officialdom, don't confront it head-on, let reality educate him that there are some things, you can't succeed by virtue of the courage of a horseman, in the face of the inertia of a strong system, any lone hero is scum.

Fang Qin sent an order to ruin the scenery, and all the wine, food, and beauties were gone, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little dull.

Of course, in the hearts of all officialdom veterans, this is called a silent protest, anyway, if it goes on like this, it is not them who are embarrassed.

Seeing that no one took the initiative to make suggestions, Fang Yingwu had no choice but to cough and speak again: "All the gentlemen should know that the supply of the capital depends on the southeast, and Suzhou Mansion is the first county in the southeast, and Taicang depends on Suzhou Mansion for two or three out of ten.

In the past two years, there has been a lot of arrears and shortage of money and grain in Suzhou, and the official was ordered to go south to supervise the grain. ”

After the officials of the prefecture and county looked at each other, a general judge in the government who was in charge of grain was called Guan Huisi, and suddenly saw Governor Li glaring at him, and remembered some explanations in advance, so he hesitated for a moment and replied: "There are many difficulties in Suzhou's money and grain affairs, and I can't do all the work with all my efforts.

First, the tax is too heavy, a county is quite a large county, and the whole government can transport more than 2 million stones, is it not difficult? Second, there are too many natural colors, too few folded colors, and it is extremely inconvenient to not be flexible."

The Daming Tian tax is based on a tax in kind. The basic form is grain and rice, which is called true color. Because of some special circumstances. The tax payable can be converted from grain and rice into other things, such as money. It can also be fish, feathers, and so on, which is called folding.

In Suzhou Prefecture, the collection of silver money is of course less worry-free and labor-saving than the collection of grain and rice. In addition to saving manpower and material resources, Suzhou Prefecture was originally a place of extremely prosperous commerce, and there was no shortage of silver.

But the problem is that silver cannot be eaten or drunk, and the court cannot live on silver alone, and the court needs food even more.

As a high-quality rice producing area, Suzhou Prefecture has good quality and high yield. Therefore, taxes are required to be paid according to their true colors. Every year, at least 2 million stone of grain must be transported to Jingshi, which is not allowed to be converted into silver money, and there is also grain and rice specially supplied to the royal family and nobles, which is called white grain.

Fang Yingwu didn't say anything for the time being, and Guan Tongju continued to talk endlessly: "Third, the more grain and rice are collected, the more difficult it is to transport. Suzhou is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and the people are tired and the losses are huge. The difficulty of transportation cannot be overstated! ”

Speaking of this, Guan Tong judged that he was slightly thirsty, lowered his head and took two sips of tea, and continued to talk.

Bang! Suddenly, there was a bang in the main seat. Everyone looked up in unison, but saw the young Chincha-sama pressing one hand on the table in front of them. Obviously, it must have been Lord Qincha who took the case just now.

Fang Yingwu stared at Guan Tong and said, "I heard that Your Excellency is the second official in charge of grain in the government?" Then don't tell me about these difficulties. What is the purpose? ”

Guan Tongju didn't understand why Qin Cha asked this, he was just a person in charge. What else can you do if you talk about the places where money and food are hard to do?

Fang Qincha spoke more and more aggressively. "Could it be that the court doesn't know about these difficulties? The official doesn't know what to do? Confused enough that you need to talk to you and answer your questions? ”

Guan Tongju bowed his head and said, "The lower officials don't dare to think about it." ”

Fang Yingwu changed his words: "The current situation is that this year, Suzhou Prefecture is in arrears with previous years, and it must ship more than three million stones. Since you're so clear, have you come up with a solution? ”

Guan Tongju was speechless. This is what he asks, if he can easily solve this old and difficult problem, then what kind of general judgment is he still here, and he is qualified to be the head of the household department!

Fang Yingwu stared at it for a long time, and when he saw that Guan Tongju couldn't answer, he reprimanded loudly: "How many things are bad because they are afraid of things and difficulties, and they blame each other!" Speaking of the head is the way, it is helpless to do it, if there are a thousand words in the pen, but there is no way to do things, what is the use? ”

Qin Cha's tone was extremely harsh, and Guan Tong was caught and reprimanded during the sentence, and his face was flushed, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.

After reprimanding the pass, Fang Yingwu said to everyone again: "The imperial court appointed this official to do this mission, not to listen to the grievances of the kings, put the words here tonight, the official does not talk about the reason, as long as the result; Don't listen to the difficulty, just the way! ”

Fang Yingwu's high-pressure momentum made all the officials in the hall feel breathless, and they couldn't help muttering a few times in their hearts, this Qincha doesn't look very old, but his aura is very powerful, no wonder people are called the tiger of the Jingshi.

In the dead silence, Governor Li, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth, "I want to come here, Lord Fang is confident, I don't know what good plan to share with us?" ”

When this sentence was spoken, the almost suffocated crowd suddenly came alive again. You can't just slap the table and train people, and you can't help it, so why force others?

Fang Yingwu said calmly: "This official does have some ideas, but they still need to be further approved. And there are some things that need to be done in the early stage, and I invite you to work together. ”

Governor Li asked, "I don't know what Lord Fang commands?" Fang Yingwu replied: "Please report the counties to report the figures of money and grain over the years, as well as the arrears." ”

Governor Li nodded and said: "This is easy, there are ready-made documents in each county, just copy a copy to Lord Fang." ”

Fang Yingwu continued to reply: "There is a second item, please count the land in each county, compile the families with more than 100 acres of land into a book, count the number, and report to the official. ”

Governor Li frowned and said, "This is very difficult to do, please think twice." ”

First, it is difficult to accurately count the land, which is trivial and laborious; Second, according to the standard of 100 acres, there are probably not tens of thousands of people in Suzhou Prefecture combined, and completing the registration is a matter of great workload.

Third, we have to take into account the impact on the people, and it is not the time to revise the household registration book, and the government suddenly began to count large households, but I am afraid that it will cause rumors and panic, and the most difficult thing is that they are not good officials.

Fang Yingwu watched coldly, like watching the fire. According to the suggestion of his subordinate Kong Zhi, this can be regarded as a temptation, and it is concluded once again that the government will not be too enthusiastic about cooperating with him, and he will not bother to work on something that is slightly difficult.

Fang Yingwu smiled, implying a thick mockery. "Just now, Taishou asked the official what his good plan was, so now he can say it bluntly, the official has his own law, but he is afraid that he will not be able to do it.

The gentlemen are all local officials, but I don't think the gentlemen seem to have any intention of cheering up, and they are really not very relieved about the monarchs, so don't mention this method! ”

Li Zhifu felt that he was being tricked by Fang Yingwu again, he had the dignity of the four-pin Huangtang, and when he heard this, he snorted coldly, got up and brushed his sleeves away. didn't even explain a word about the scene, and walked out of the lobby without looking back.

Fang Yingwu greeted the handyman at the door office: "I'm a little hungry in my stomach, and the tea is not full, so let's serve wine and food!" (To be continued......)

PS: The state is very poor, I really can't write the kind of feeling I want, everyone give me another night, I'll hold it again.
